A Normal President Would Have Addressed The Nation.

[madaboutharry]

Any one of the previous American presidents in modern times would have already given a prime time address to the nation in which truths would have been told and in which a plan for going forward would have been explained.

We are without leadership. We have been without leadership for three years.

This is a fact equally as frightening as the virus itself.

1. All he cares about is winning the election, not the country, not the people nothing else.

HE is the only thing he cares about. I swear I don't think he would care of one of his children got the virus and got seriously ill. He just cares about Donald.

[HipChick]

2. My mum was just saying that..

[empedocles]

3. trump/pence, administration, as key CV 19 people - incredible incompetence

Historically worse ever?

[tblue37]

4. If he did, people would be even less informed, since he just lies. nt

[MissMillie]

5. Well, my preference would be that he would make

a VERY short statement, and then introduce some doctors and some disease prevention experts, who would do the explaining and take questions from the press.

[Hekate]

6. I'm just as happy he's not. My blood pressure couldn't take it.

[calimary]

21. We're better off without some big prime time White House address.

It wouldn’t matter WHAT he’d say. Cuz he’s nothing but That Guy Who Lies All The Time. Who’s willing to risk believing him anymore? (Except maybe in that part of the country which is often referred to here as Dumbfuckistan.)

7. Even worse...

We aren't just "without leadership" -- we are under a malevolent misleader.

[madaboutharry]

8. That is very true.

The president is a malevolent misleader.

[LiberalArkie]

9. He is addressing his nation. Meeting with the stock brokers for lunch.

[SunSeeker]

10. Shitler is incapable of calming us. He is the source of our anxiety.

Just seeing him raises my blood pressure.

[IronLionZion]

11. I'll gladly take an address laden with gaffes

over the cold callous disregard we are currently getting. Trump and his administration don't want the truth coming out because it makes them look incompetent and useless. America needs new leadership.

When the stock market and jobs and whatever were up, it's easy to miss. But when our country is in a crisis, then more voters notice that the people in charge have no idea what they're doing and can't handle it.

[Skittles]

31. "laden with gaffes" sucks too

WHY can't we have better choices - HOW did it come to this?

[gibraltar72]

12. Truths? surely you jest.

[madaboutharry]

13. I said in "normal" times.

The public might not hear everything, but everything wouldn't be a lie.

[relayerbob]

14. More frightening to me, actually

You can avoid people, wash hands, etc., to try to fend off a disease. We can't do shit to fend off a Trump, except VOTE!!!

[a la izquierda]

16. Exactly this. nt

[spanone]

15. He would only tell us it's a beautiful virus...a perfect virus. YES, we are without leadership.

[Ford_Prefect]

17. What is McConnell doing now? Lamar Alexander? Patty Murray?

[Canoe52]

18. Golf or address the nation, it was a tough decision!

[KPN]

19. THIS -- is exactly why we have the CoVID-19

situation and Wall Street reaction we now have. These situations are both of tRump’s own making as well as all of those serving in appointed federal positions under him. We are living with the chaos created by the vast incompetence of our pResident. We wouldn’t be dealing with or experiencing either the Coronavirus scare or Wall Street collapse if we had a reasonably normal President. We don’t. Instead, we have a crooked incompetent who surrounds himself with other crooks and total incompetents so that he can feel like he’s in charge. This was totally avoidable. It was created by him personally, by his sheer incompetence. I so hope he ultimately pays for it.

[LymphocyteLover]

20. He's truly a menace to us all-- a national security threat

He tweeted that COVID19 is just like the flu, FFS. It's sick!

[Perseus]

22. Forget about the "president" title, this guy is not normal.

[Traildogbob]

23. Who is he siding with......

In the Saudie/Russia oil war. Both his LOVERS. Or, are they uniting to crash us further by making our oil worthless. Would be a great way to destroy our economy, they already destroyed our democracy. We are down on the mat, the ref is counting and is up to number 8. Our enemies threw a massive upper cut, set up the many chins of trump and then landed a POWERFUL RIGHT. We are nearly out for the count. A DOWN goes Frazier, I MEAN MURKKKa. MAGA. All the winning, Be Best. Least the trumps are fine, playing golf and tennis with our cash, and we pay for the courts. Like their new shirts say, "In God We Trump"? God be blessin us!

[lark]

24. It's worse than that, this was done on purpose to profit drumpf & oligarchs.

There's a cure used widely around the world, but no, drumpf wouldn't allow that - no profit. So CDC started to "develop" their own test, using his preferred vendor I'm positive, ensuring profits for him. So we are 2 months behind the curve due to drumpfs' killing greed and concern for no one or nothing but himself (Russia is now part of "him" because they own him). He's so stupid and incurious, I wonder if this was done to kill us or just out of greed and ignorance? With him it could be either or even both.

[True Blue American]

27. I did hear that Trump has an

Interest in the company. He was getting angry at the end of his short PC!

[Initech]

25. Chump thinks he is only president of Fox News viewers.

Ugh... imagine the progress we could have been making in the last 20 years without that POS network.

[True Blue American]

26. Trump only met with Republican Senators today

Without House Democrats nothing can happen. Trump is afraid to face Pelosi and Schumer!

He is not only a liar but is also a blooming coward.

[malaise]

29. This

is the truth

[Initech]

30. He is such a POS.

The sooner we rid ourselves of this administration the better.

[ooky]

28. Unfortunately, this president is an idiot. nt
